The complete and utter media black out on a genocide. I got banned from facebook 2 years ago for saying a war with a 1-to-50 casualty rate imbalance was more akin to massacre than a war.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

That I remember seeing, Encyclopedia Dramatica. That shit made sure to document every disgusting shit that has ever "graced" the collective mind of the internet, like 2 girls 1 cup, zippo cat, 1 guy 1 jar and other shit. Me and my stupid morbid curiosity in reading it at least got me smart enough to avoid actually watching any of those videos.

They also had a shock page with extreme scat, goatse, prolapse and whatever else you can imagine that could shock people.

Joke's on you. I like to feel like I'm dying all the time.

[-] accarezzu@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 days ago

Damn, that's one wild ass fetish, mate

[-] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 6 points 3 days ago

Thank you. Will do.

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Back when the styles project was a site and rotten.com posted real police photos. I was very young and into horror movies but that was over the edge.

[-] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Starting a thread with the equivalent of "You don't have to share your opinion if it makes you or someone else uncomfortable" is the most controversial thing I've seen today at least.

[-] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 12 points 3 days ago

A kick streamer took a homeless woman out on a date in a restaurant then dine and dashed and left her w the bill.. on stream.... i seen all typa cartel gore shit in my time, but this is just a different type of evil. Even worse its a recent story too

[-] tetris11@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

Reading this just got me down. Why are people like this.

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Damn did they get shamed to oblivion at least?

[-] bruhsoulz@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

No idea, what's embarrassing is that it's basically a tiny echo chamber he only had like a hundred people lives and a good portion of them were like "WWW" and other disgusting shit. Someordinarygamers made a video ab him and tried to hide his username and stuff so he wouldn't get the 'cloud' he was chasing so hard.

[-] Zorsith 25 points 3 days ago

A Man being pulled into an industrial lathe. Spaghettification does not require a black hole...

Fair warning, I'm not here to judge but take it from someone who spent a lot of time trying to consume the most outrageous internet content to desensitise themselves - it all catches up eventually.

Anyway, this is some of the stuff that comes to mind:

Botfly extractions

Teenage girl suicide (hanging in a tree - too young to die IMO)

Microwaving kittens

Toybox killer transcript and tapes (I don’t like torturing people who don’t deserve it)

People having sex with aborted foetuses

[-] Smoogs@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Where are these people and how do they get like this? This is ultra fucked up

[-] some_random_nick@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Holy hell. Things went from pretty aweful to horendous. I regret having the abilty to read :-/

[-] Jimmycrackcrack@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

I don't know why the kittens should be the one that hurt me the most to read but well, it did.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

I watched faces of death when I was younger and I saw a hostage situation somewhere in south east Asia. Hostages were getting pulled out of the building on the tail end of the operation.

Mixed in must have a hostile because the security forces shot a guy with shotguns at short range.

It's like his whole chest and back opened up like a book.

I don't seek out gore like I used to. No ukraine war footage, no cartel videos. None of that. I know worse is out there just by hearing about it 2nd hand. (Like the infamous funky town video)

[-] Feddinat0r@feddit.org 14 points 3 days ago

As i was young Rotten.com

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 7 points 3 days ago

I'll mention 2: Station Nightclub fire footage and a video of pigs being buried alive in response to a disease outbreak.

[-] orgrinrt@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

As a young(er), morbidly curious and then still fairly naive dumbass, I went and clicked on some questionable link on a Reddit thread, and was introduced to something known as “Funky Town”.

That shit set me straight pretty well, been avoiding everything even remotely suspiciously feeling it might be or explicitly is gore-related, but the imagery alone still haunts me to this day, not to mention all the other stuff like imagining how any of the people involved must feel, both emotionally and physically.

I debated mentioning this by name for a fair bit, but I think this thread is specifically for this kind of thing, so I’ll leave it. Anyone clicking here is expecting horrifying things, so it won’t catch anyone off guard. But I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOBODY GOES LOOKING FOR THIS SPECIFIC THING. You will not get it out from behind your eyes. Seriously.

[-] MightyCuriosity@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

To prevent people from looking it up maybe give a TL;DW?

[-] mardanfarrox@slrpnk.net 5 points 2 days ago

Cartel torture video

[-] EABOD25@lemm.ee 12 points 3 days ago

I would go to r/eyeblech when it was active. There was some pretty fucked up shit on that sub

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

There is a lot of horrifying content out there. Videos of people brutally murdering others are probably among the top imo.

Something that I had a hard time physically looking at was I once stumbled across a man who appeared to be having some sort of psychotic episode. He filmed himself trying to pull a microchip out of his eye. He kept picking at it and gouging it with his bare hands. I don't understand how he was able to do that without screaming in pain. Hope the poor man got better after but who knows what happened.

Edit: And before anyone attempts to ask...no I don't have a link. LiveLeak was where I had seen a lot of things and it doesn't exist anymore. I'm sure there are a myriad of other sites out there if you're morbidly curious. Just don't go asking me for references. Like others said...for many people it can end up messing them up. Don't show anything to anyone else. If you are curious and you think you can handle it, then that's on you. But don't make anyone else see it even if they say they are ok with it.

[-] kang@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Early Facebook days (ares and even Google lmao, tons of common results of those days now are part of the dark net) were wild, not gonna be specific but illegal shit that I didn't even search nor wanted to see

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

For sheer human evilness I've seen a beheading video, for pure gore I've seen some lathe accidents. I'm never going near a lathe.

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

The manual lathe is the most dangerous piece of equipment in a shop in terms of fatalities. They cannot be made 'safe'. You can only train people how to use them safely and not put idiots on them.

I've seen the chuck key of shame used and support its use. My rule was one chuck key fuckup, second offense, immediate termination.

I used to have a safety presentation on lathes. It was called, "The Happy Fun Lathe Safety Presentation." Kittens and puppies on the title and chock full of gore.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 3 points 2 days ago

It's probably more effective to show the actual videos, yeah. Like, lathes will fuck you up in the most horrifically comical ways. Sort of like in cartoons when the most violent things happen and they get up (like being steamrolled), but you obviously don't get up.

[-] Machinist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

My presentation had the Russian video where the kid gets wrapped up around a bar. Also had the pictures from where the guy got wrapped around a chuck and there is an eyeball sitting on top of the pile.

[-] absGeekNZ@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 days ago

Lathes are serious machines. They require serious caution!

At my previous job, there was a very lucky apprentice; he was working on "the small lathe"; the sleeve on his overalls caught on the work piece. His arm was pulled into the machine the overall sleeve tore as it was being pulled in. He got very nasty friction burns all up the under side of his arm; if the sleeve didn't tear, at minimum he would have lost the arm.....the lathe didn't stop spinning during the event. He panicked (understandably) and didn't think to hit the e-stop.

Table saws and lathes....don't fuck around with them. Powerful tools require serious caution; but they are also very useful when used correctly.

[-] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 3 points 3 days ago

Lathes are no joke. There's one that really stuck with me, I think at a Russian factory. "Dismemberment" does not accurately reflect what happened.

[-] bi_tux@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

an indian guy on a motor cycle being crushed by a truck

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 days ago

Honestly, my answers in specific wouldn't surprise anyone.

If it's fucked up and you could get away with it, at least one person out of 8 billion has done it. Then there's a chance they recorded and published it, and a chance any given person will find it.

The good news is that the other 99.99% of the time things are normal.

[-] Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago

Any type of NSFL content mentionned could be a very bad thing for anyone involved.

I get that you are curious and that's fine but it could cause more harm than you might imagine.

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 days ago

Yeah. Made the mistake of mentioning some of the really messed up stuff I saw to my 2nd youngest sibling when they were 12 and claimed that they'd seen everything on the internet.
They refused to get into the bath for 2 months and cloth washed at the sink.....

Not on internet but real life. My mother took a pair of scissors, cut from her vagina to her navel then started going sideways releasing bowel in the process.

[-] Meltrax@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

This comment is the most messed up thing I've seen on the internet.

I'm done with this thread now.

[-] BiggestPiggest@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Yeah. 40 years later I can still see it. And weirdly enough, smell it.

She did other similar things before finishing herself off years later.

[-] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago
[-] BiggestPiggest@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Mental illness is a bitch. Huge amounts of codeine were available over the counter back then and in sure that helped.

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 4 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

as far as most disturbing thing to watch, probably the self-immolation of aaron bushnell back in february. i generally avoid the more messed up infamous internet stuff.

eta: more disturbing, but not quite as punchy due to not being a video, was a post i saw once about a young lady who picked at her legs so much, that they had to be removed. there was a lot of pictures. she eventually dug a hole straight through them.
